I had some black and white photos of my passed-away tuxedo cat, fully expecting this to produce a terrible result, but instead I was blown away by accurate and subtle colors added.…

Did the Bernie Sanders stump speech that is at the top of this thread link any of their bullet points back to NIMBY somehow?

What kind of motherboard can accommodate such a set up? There are not enough PCIe slots on many high end boards.

I know they came out with an LTE-enabled Forerunner 945 late in its cycle. I don’t know if they’ll add similar functionality to other models, but that’s one watch with that feature…

Agreed. They say this is for explorers and adventure, but it seems like I’d be out of charge after the first segment of a backpacking trip. Need a map of an area for the return or …

He’s not performing well at work and you found out without any extra surveillance. I mean you didn’t even need to find his freelance gig, it seems irrelevant to what you should do.…

This is called contextual advertising, fyi.

No it doesn't? I'm on Chrome right now and cannot pop out vimeo videos. Youtube appears to have a "pseudo" pop-out that I suspect is their own js-driven miniplayer thing. Just a fa…

My spouse (medicine) and several of my peers (journalism) have and they would disagree. Spouse has experienced both sides of the coin, and has seen better benefits and better pay i…

> Another problem is people don't know any better. It's not like the average person has owned cars from all the major brands for enough time for things to go wrong with them. Most …

Ads create a twisted profit incentive that counters what Telegram wants to be, even if Telegram only pursues a privacy-friendly ads experience at first. Sell functionality, storage…

Full disclosure: I own about $11 worth of bitcoin if I round up a bit, so this might be biased. The most convincing "point" of bitcoin I've heard is to accomodate transfer of large…

Shooting the computer does not erase uploaded evidence of criminal activity.

That's like saying Amazon was actively helping hackers when your app allows anyone to log in when it can't connect to a passwords table in a shut down DynamoDB instance. Twilio shu…

a: no, b: yes.

Did it 4 years ago. Saved a backup of my data, deactivated, and then completely deleted. Yes there will always be a reason to have facebook around, but 4 years on, missing out on a…

Lever has been down for about the same amount of time as well (job recruiting platform).

I tried to spin up a repl.it session for the first time yesterday, with the intent to hack on clojure solutions to Advent of Code 2020. After a while I just got pretty frustrated b…

His and his spouse's fields are Finance and Medicine, respectively. I don't know about his specific workplace, but it can be tough to adjust to a conservative culture in medicine f…

10-20 years ago places I lived and remembered being quite heavily snowy in the winter just get a bit of dusting at best now. New England has lost over 600 ski areas. There are fewe…

clojuredocs[0] has some good examples. I more often use when-some or if-some over when-let or if-let, mainly because I'm processing over collections and I want to do something to t…

It started much longer than 10 years ago. On slashdot, it was pretty much the only way I've ever seen Microsoft referred to.
